Last week I was at a buddy’s house watching hunting shows, and when an ad for Hornady Ammunition hit the flat-screen, I spotted myself pulling the trigger.

The truck doors slammed and we kicked up dust with a bed full of fleshy beavers and a muddy ATV. Our stomachs were full from a hearty afternoon meal, but our Mossbergs were starving. Hopefully the bears are, too.

This is a varmint and predator hunting blog, so it's only fitting that we spend a little time looking at hunting the largest rodent in North America. Compared to prairie dogs, rats and other rodents, this critter is a relative monster. Forty- and 50-pound animals aren't uncommon, and there are stories about big ones that tip the scales at 100 pounds. That's a rodent twice the size of a big coyote.

I've been busy—very busy—in the turkey woods, but finally managed to tag a gobbler in Wisconsin. Anyways, sorry for the delay, gang. I know you're all anxious to see if you won any gear from "Inside the Box" last month, so watch today's video to find out!

There are a lot of excellent scent-free solutions for the hunter's shower. But now there's a product line called Just for Does that's catered specifically to the needs of ladies. For today's Deadly Passion Tip, I'll tell you all about it.

Last spring, I traveled to northern Alberta to hunt black bears with W&L Guide Services. If you read my article, you know that I didn't kill a bear, but the experience was unforgettable. Well, as you read this, I'm back at W&L to see if I can find "Him"—a big, mature bruin that High Level is known for.

There's insurance available to cover nearly every aspect of your life, and you can take measures to insure your hunts. You could go the traditional route and purchase trip insurance, but who has extra cash sitting around to sink into a policy that likely has an “act of God” clause in it anyway?

Trail cameras have become a very important part of many people's scouting and hunting routine, but I decided to push my cameras one step further. I often like to place a GoPro or small camera right in my turkey decoy setup to get that great low angle shot looking back at the blind, but oftentimes the camera is dead by the time the turkeys decide to roll in. That's when I decided, why not use a trail camera?

If you're looking for a new rimfire this season, you're blessed with a lot of choices. Quality and price range from low to stratospheric, with only a few rifles hitting that magic middle ground that suggests you're getting more than you're paying for. In that category, I propose one rifle worthy of consideration: the Browning T-Bolt rimfire.

We arrived at our annual stomping grounds at 10 a.m. By noon, we had shaken hands with landowners, set up camp and hit the trail for an afternoon hunt. I crept through the unseasonably sparse spring cover, glassing and calling every couple of steps. Soon, I arrived at "The Majestic Field" and felt the looming presence of my quarry.
